Career

Generally cast as smarmy executives and authority figures, Fuller, standing six-feet five-inches tall, is probably best recognized as nerdy television director Russell in Wayne's World, a spiteful mayoral aide in Ghostbusters II, Mr. Brell in No Holds Barred, a seedy real estate agent in Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and power-abusing, egotistical NSC Director Robert Lindsey in the third season of Alias. Usually cast in comedic roles, Fuller played Werner Klemperer, to whom he bears a very close physical likeness, in Paul Schrader's Auto Focus and Karl Rove on the TV satire That's My Bush!. He also played Pacific Bell Retirement Fund Executive Walter Ribbon in The Pursuit of Happyness.

Fuller has appeared in many television shows as well, including Knight Rider, Timecop, Quantum Leap, L.A. Law, Murder, She Wrote, Ally McBeal, Felicity, Malcolm in the Middle, The West Wing, Boston Legal, Boston Public, House, Monk, Desperate Housewives, the live action version of The Tick, Charmed, Carnivàle, My Name Is Earl, Ugly Betty, Glee, and the pilot episode of NewsRadio. He has a recurring role as Woody the Coroner on Psych.
